There is a tale in Greek myths of a woman who tricked Apollo into granting her a wish, grabbed a pile of sand and asked to live as many ages as there were individual pieces in the pile—yet she forgot to ask for eternal youth, so a thousand years later she was a dribbling and unhappy old hag desperately wishing she had died ages ago. I suppose something like this is what pictured by non-transhumanists when they speak of “too old”—and there is no obligation that your methods to preserve life will also preserve good bodily condition (not to mention Alzheimer-like thingies—what if the body does live but the mind deteriorates?).
